A FABULOUS stay!
beach chairsconvenient serviceexcellent locationbike rentals
The hotel offered complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. Staff members set them up at the beach. This was convenient. The location was excellent, a short walk to the beach and nearby eateries (i found many cool places!). I also appreciated the complimentary two-hour bike rentals. This allowed for great exploration.
The bathroom was a little tiny, space around the sink was limited, and there were no shelves for toiletries.
Dining
9/10
The restaurant provided a lovely breakfast and brunch service. I found the food to be delicious and well-prepared. There was a varied selection of options catering to different tastes (the pastries are a must try!).
Location
10/10
The hotel is positioned on a quieter part of Ocean Drive away from loud bars and restaurants. This provides a balance of being close to the beach and other attractions. The bus stop is only a three-minute walk away.
Service
9/10
The staff were attentive and very friendly. Front desk employees looked to ensure guests had what they needed. They greeted guests and opened doors frequently (a testament to their dedication!).

the sound from the extractor pipes coming from the 4th floor just outside our junior suite was too loud. a very strong smell of paint was unpleasant and unhealthy.
